Cultivating crystal lattice distortion in IrO2via coupling with MnO2 to boost the oxygen evolution reaction with high intrinsic activity

Enhancing the OER performance by cultivating Jahn–Teller distortion in IrO2 with Mn oxide being the substrate material.

Crystal lattice distortion in ultrathin Co(OH)2nanosheets inducing elongated Co–OOHbonds for highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction

The highly efficient OER performance of the ultrathin cobalt hydroxides nanosheets is due to the elongated Co–OOHbonds generated from crystal lattice distortion, which can serve as the efficiently catalytic active sites.

Mechanical Alloying of Hard Magnetic Materials with Samarium

The effect of the mechanical alloying and nitriding time on the structure and properties of Sm-Fe-N alloys were studied in the course of the research. The influence of alloying elements (nitrogen, titanium, molybdenum) on the Curie temperature was investigated. It was revealed that the introduction of alloying elements leads to obtaining a homogeneous structure, an uniform distribution of particles, crystal lattice distortion and increasing the Curie temperature (up to 540-550 °C).
